There are different possibilities to typeset text in two or more columns:
- columns : for simple cases of multi column text
- paragraphs : if you need a table-like structure (translations, questionaires etc.)
- column sets : the flexible way for varying columns or other complex tasks
- streams : set different text synchronized side-by-side (e.g. bilingual editions)
Contents
Columns
\startcolumns[n=3] \input knuth \stopcolumns
You can add all the options of \setupcolumns to \startcommand. You can enforce a new column with \column, but that's a bit broken at the moment (2006-01-14).
Paragraphs
see "Paragraphs in Columns" section in the manual
Column Sets
see Columns manual or column sets source
Streams
see streams source

TODO: We need documentation and samples for Paragraphs, Streams and Column Sets (See: To-Do List) |
